I messaged Zach, but I haven't gotten a response.

This game is up. I would recommend opening multiple windows as you try again and again.

Try to rapidly click on the center of the screen, near the "connecting" box. I can usually get in on my 4th or 5th try.

yah, its weird: this particular game just hangs. i can always connect on 2nd try. i've tried restarting the process, but that didn't help.

Would it be possible to reboot the server?

Dang it. I still cannot connect. I am on a Mac. I am not sure if it makes a difference, but the program just freezes. I have to force quit the program and restart it. This was not happening a few days ago, which is why it is so strange.

Ymir.... died in a retreat. Untouched, but other troops fled. Because I couldn't connect, I stalled and he had no retreat path...

Staling, connection issues have kilt me. At least I know my pretender designed worked, or would have, if I'd been around to play it.

Switching to AI, giving some loot (~15 pearls and water gems), 25 gold to Utgard- plus some minor artifacts. This is a favor for actually responding to my request for mr items. I wasn't paralyzed once in this last battle.

For everyone's information, the province of Elkland (101) comes with a construction bonus.
rt R'lyeh into a pulp, because I have only one province left - and its not my capital. I can't do it myself.

R'lyeh? You would have been an interesting opponent, if I'd been around to fight you. While I hate you now, it won't carry over into the next game. If I'd simply said something the first time I'd noticed I couldn't connect instead of waiting for others to chime in first, I wouldn't be in this mess. Lesson - complain earlier. Not any louder or more frequently, just earlier.

In the meantime, may your seas dry up, your dreams involve Hello Kitty, and your meteor turn out to be a weather balloon.

That's part of the hazard of using a SC with a ton of other units. Once you lose a certain percentage of your field, everyone routes. That's the reason I attacked the other two provinces at the same time. Though your pretender God was leaking fatigue fast, towards the end of the battle, before he routed, he was up to 90 fatigue or so. Very close to passing out. I doubt that he would have survived the fight even without the routing, but you never know. Morale 50 guys always make their awe check, and once he's asleep he's an easy target to nickle and dime to death through afflictions (especially blindness).

I'm sorry you couldn't connect, it sucks, but I've been trying to help people out on here as I'd much rather have a game with opponents who can fight back. I was pretty adamant with my posts that the server was still up, I even posted multiple times on how to get past the screw up. I really wish Zach would try resetting the server instead of just the process. I'm surprised this wasn't step #1.

I don't think that'll happen anytime soon

Though our population keeps dying off. I thought you had an interesting pretender build, and I can offer some advice from my POV if you'd like. I probably wouldn't have gone W10, the different between that one point of defense is negligible compared to what those extra points would have been worth in scales, or other magic paths. I also would have built more of those sacred units. I thought they were quite good.
